Task Scheduler

[xp user blues]

I am trying to schedule tasks. Specifically "disk clean up and defrag" to
perform weekly. I get the message, " The new task has been created, but may
not run because the account information could not be set. The specific error
is: 0x80070005. Access is denied. Try using the task page browse button to
locate the application. I tried one of the hot fixes and it didn't do
anything.

I am trying to schedule tasks. Specifically "disk clean up and defrag"
to
perform weekly. I get the message, " The new task has been created,
but may
not run because the account information could not be set. The specific
error
is: 0x80070005. Access is denied. Try using the task page browse

When you create the task, you also specify under what account it will
run plus you have to provide the password for that account. So under
what account did you assign the task? Did you enter the correct
password for that account?

And WHAT program are you describing by "disk clean up and defrag" rather
than actually provide its filename? The Disk Cleanup wizard
(cleanmgr.exe) that comes in Windows XP does not itself provide a
scheduling option. YOU have to add a new task to Task Scheduler after
first following the instructions in Microsoft's KB article 315246 on how
to define a config set that you then specify in the command line that
you specify for the scheduled task. But then maybe you are using some
3rd party cleanup tool but neglecting to identify it.
